Is it not awarded to the ride with the highest average rating? Therefore -use it not *more* impressive that Transformers managed to fend off RSR, as newly listed attractions will typically be first swarmed by the fan collective before more objective audiences get around to voting?

FWIW, RSR already has more votes than the USH version of Transformers, which opened a month before RSR. Also, in general on the site, new attractions hit their highest rating about a week or so after debuting, then the average starts to decline.

I'm a bit surprised that Disney's version of Benihana beat out Mythos. I know Mythos has been getting some stiff competition, and still strives to be an affordable sit-down in IOA, but come on, the experience at Teppan Edo is no different than most people can get at your local teppanyaki restaurant down the street. There are dozens of theme park restaurants, half of those or more just in EPCOT alone, I would spend my money at before I ate at Teppan Edo.

The restaurant category is really getting competitive. There are a lot of really good restaurants hovering around the same average rating, which is why it's so important to encourage as many readers as possible to submit ratings for the places where they dine. And if some of the international restaurants hit the minimum vote count, watch out. The S.S. Columbia, Magellan's, and Walt's all are legitimate candidates to win this award, too.
